The Nicl,eI pln1e.

New YORK, Jan. 5.-William Allen
Butler, Jr.. counsel for the first mortgage
bondholders of the Nickel Plate railroad
said to-day in reference to the recent de-
cision of Judge Jones, of Cleveland, adverse
to his client: I'VE have taken the neces
sary steps to appeal from the decision anC
we are making arrangements to try the
case over again in the same court
The practice in Ohio allows two
trials in the circuit court before al
appeal is taken to the highest court of the
state. We are instructed by the bond
holders committee to fight this case il
every court. The Ohio circuit court de-
clsion only covers that portion of the Nickel
Plate line situated in Ohio, and the bond
holders have already commenced action il
the states of New York, Pennsylvania. In
diana and Illinois to enforce their rights
under the first mortgage. The courts il
each of these states will also have an OPP
portunity To pass on the validity of a first
mortgage and the laws which protect it.
This decision is but the commencement OF
protracted litigation"

CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-F. T. Whitney, of
the Michigan Central road, having declined
the position of auditor on the Wabash sys-
tenn protfered by Receiver Cooley. the place
has been rendered to NJ. Trumbull, who
has accepted. Mr.. TrumbulI was assistant
auditor on the old Wabash. Receiver
Cooley. of the Wabash road returned to day
from st. Louis, where he had conference
with the officials of the system west of the
Mississippi river. Amicable arrangements
were arrived at regarding division of the
rolling stock, and also in regard to inter-
change of traffic. 1t has been agreed that
through rates shall be made between the
Eastern and Western terminus of the
old system, to be divided in pro-
portions now established on other
lines, on a mileage basis as
as agreed upon later. The question of di-
vision in pool percentages was not dis
cussed. being too completely matter to be
settled off hand. The lines east of the Mis-
sissippi river in charge of Judge Cooley
Wiz be known as the Wabash Railway
company, While those west will retain the
title of the Wabash, st. Louis &c Pacific.

Nc Lun,her I,aaI.

The committee of general freight agent
OF the roads interested in the lumber traffic
from Chicago and Wisconsin points to all
Missouri river points, and west and south
west thereof, has utterly failed to accom-
plish anything, and all prospects Of bring
ing about the formation of such a pool have
now vanished. and the rates, which have
been quite low for some weeks past, are
likely to go lower. At the last meeting of
the committee, the principal obstacle in the
way of an agreement was the refusal of the
Chicago & Northwestern to pool any bust
ness to competitive points west of the Mis-
souri,, while the Milwaukee & st. Paul
contended that unless business going to
competitive points west of the river was
pooled. rates could not be maintained
There was also difficulty about diiferentials.
The whole effort has proved to be dismal
failure

The Rniah,soS Babor

ST. Louis, Mo-, Jan. 81. B. Mcguire,
of New Y ork, member of District Assembly
40. and one of the general executive board
of the Knights of Labor, who has been
travelling from point to point since Novem-
Der in the interest of the order. was in this
city yesterday. In an interview Mr.
Mcguire stated that all the reports given in
the newspapers in regard to split in the
ranks of his order. and general dis
ruption of the Knights of Labor,
were too ridiculous to be noticed. AS to
the statements in New York dispatches
that he was responsible for the raising of
Mr.. Powderly's salary and the extension of
time. in order to make capital for himself,
so that he might finally become the head OF
the order, he said it was utterly groundIess.
So far from being in any way responsible
for it, he actually voted against the increase
of salary and the extension of the official term
of from one to two years and his delegation
of 81 voted with him. The talk of call
ing a special session going the rounds of the
papers. he asserted, was not INDUCED in by
any of the order. Of course there were
eases of individual dissatisfaction. just as
in other orders or even in the churches. but
nothing of the kind had become general and
probably never would.

THE soMERyILLE POLICE
The Exnress Rnbhers.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 5.-W. w. Haight,
one of Wittrock;s accompliceS in the train
robbery, has furnished the local papers
written statement of his connection with
the affair. He says therein that poverty
and his inability to obtain employment
forced him TO devise some means whereby
he might provide his wife and child with the
necessities of life. To do this he planned
the robbery, and approached Wittrock with
the scheme. Wittrock became enthusiastic
over it, and thereafter took the affair into
his hands, and he (Haight) heard nothing
more of him until he read an account of the
robbery in the papers. Soon after that
Wittrock sent him 81, 600 by Oscar Cook.
and summoned him to Leavenworth. There
Wittrock gave him SO. 900 more He SAYS
it was he who forged Mr. Damsers sigma
ture to the paper which was presented
to Fotheringham, and had the Adams Ex-
press letterheads and envelopes printed
Fotheringham. he asserts. is absolutely in
nOcent OF each and every charge brought
against him.
The express robbers were not taken to
the penitentIary to-day, as was expected
that they would be, but they will be sent
| up tomorrow. In brief interview with
| Wittrock this morning that worthy gave a
III VI HltOilhdIiOn DOb before maze PUBIC,
which was to the effect that he specially
stipulated with the detectives that they
must lift the mortgage off his mothers
house before he would turn up'' any of
the stolen money. This. he said. they
promised to do, and added that it was done
| when they went to Leavenworth, and thus
| his chief object in robbing the express COM
pany was accomplished. The mort gage
! was for 81, 700.
The grand jury to-day found and re-
| turned to the court an Indictment against
Dan Moliarity, charging him with being an
accessory after the fact to the Jim Cum
mings express robbery. The sentenced train
robbers, Wittrock, Haght and Weaver, will
pass to-day and to night in the jail in this
city and will be taken to the penitentiary
at jefferson City tomorrow morning, when
they begin serving their sentences.

Mexican Troops flooding the State

Iion.
Ell PAso, Tex, Jan. 5.-Large bodies of
federal troops have recently been moved up
and down the Mexican Central railroad.
The reason for these maneuveTs has been a
mystery, but it is now stated, on good au-
thority, that an outbreak is feared in the
western part of the state of Chihuahua.
The population about Cusihuiriacho is
stated to be ripe for rebellion, and to be
only waiting for opportunity and leader.
Gen. Rigera, commanding the military
forces of the states of Chihuahua and
Durango, with headquarters at Chihuahua,
on his recent visit to this city arranged for
the building of new barracks at
Paso del Norte. 1t is rumUred that
instead Of the 200 or 800 troops heretofore
stationed at Paso del Norte, the number is
to be increased to 1000, and the headquar-
tiers are to be removed from Chihuahua to
Paso del Norte. The Mexican military
have long favored the masslg of a consid-
cradle bUdy of troops near the northern
frontier. A rumor i'll this connection is to
the effect that 20, 600 troops are soon to be
stationed at and between Laredo. Eagle
Pass and Paso del Norte for frontier duty,
but this rumor is not credited.

PLANTATION OF the filing of the petitions say

The Pass Question,

Western railway general managers was in
session here to-day with a view of taking
up the question of what restriction was to
be put upon the issue of passes to mer-
chants, manufacturers and shippers along
their several lines. The Wabash manager
not being present it was decided to refer
the matter of making a pass agreement to
the general freight agents wi ii instructions
to report the plan to the committee to-mor-

NOUS in the matter, it being claimed that
some of them have already provided the
heaviest shippers with annual passes and
now seek to restrain their competitors from

newspaper fellows are too fiy.' he added.
"Give it to me if you want to, it will only
get ME better job" Forester was hurried
into the baggage room and locked in there.

A correspondent at Fostoria. O.. relates
conversation with man who was at the
scene OF the wreck. Hesays the gentleman
stated that he talked with the engineer of
the wrecked passenger train. who stated
that the train left Chicago Junction five
minutes late. When he pulled out his watch
as he whistled for Republic he found he
had made up four minutes, and was there
fore going at the rate of
SIXTY -FOUR MILES AN HOUR.
Just as they made the curve west of Re-
public the headlight of the freight flashed
into his face. He reversed his engine and
went out OF the cab window head first. and
only sustained slight injuries. In answer
to the question as to who was TO blame for
the awful affair. the gentleman said; 1T
was clearly the fault OF the freight crew.
| am satisfied that the whole crew was
drunk, and the condition of things bears
me out in the assertion. l heard the brake
man of the freight admit that he drank
with the engineer of the freight
four times at Tifiin. The conduc-
tor claims that the engineer was
stubborn, and was bound to have his own
way. The engine would not make steam,
and died on the main track only few feet
from the switch. The whole crew was on
the engine parleyng what to do, when the
conductor remarked, Il guess I'll go ahead
and flag No. s." He had hardly gotten to
the ground when he exclaimed my God,
here she comes, . and they all broke for a
place of slfety." The gentleman quoted is

a nineteen-year old boy, went skating with
party of friends on the Ohio, about
twenty five miles above Louisville yester-
day. He went out too far and the ice broke.

called to his companions to save him, but
the ice was grinding and surging so much
that no skiff could reach him. The news
was carried to his father. who mounted a
horse and followed the boy twenty three
miles down the river. He finally got two
fishermen to row out and rescue his son,
who was nearly dead from cold and ex-
posture. His escape was almost miraculous,
as the river was full of broken ice.
